Teacup Coasters, Teapot Tess and crochet.

This last couple of weeks I have been finishing off some of the unfinished projects that have been around for ages, so made my mind over and fixed them!

First up here are some tea/coffee cup coasters.

sold

A little collection.....

Now all sold.
Made from linen and cotton. Place a teabag or two and send to a friend, who can then use it as a coaster while they sip there tea (or coffee) and think of you!

And here is little Teapot Tess....

you guessed it another sock monkey lol. She has teapots and teacups as decoration.

With her best friend Gertie. They like to chat and whisper secrets. (although Gertie's leg looks rather elongated in this photo they are both the same length!

Having a cuddle together.

The lace that I unpicked from this embroidered tablecloth which is here was waiting for me to do something with.So at last got the iron out and re-shaped it and it's now ready to go...

Now added to my little dresser.

Close UP

I stuck it down with double sided sellotape. I do have quite a bit more of the crochet....hmm where to put it!
(the dresser was originally a display unit for my jugs, somehow or other a lot of red bits have crept it.....can't think how. lol.

Making some progress on some wooden bits I'm putting together and hopefully will be able to show next time.

What fabulous makes this week!the tea coasters are so pretty... that I would not dare to use them... as coasters :D no to get tea/coffee stains on them! love the red monkey with tea theme on her -absolutely brilliant. the hat you made for her makes me smile! :)))

Sorry for adding my comment to the bottom of Natalie's but for some reason my laptop's not showing me the main comment box!! I love the tea & coffee coasters - they're so cute and really really neat! Love Gertie & Teapot Tess having a cuddle - very cute! Your dresser looks very much like mine - a slight red obsession going on :-) Simmi x

Fun fun fun. All of it: cup monkey lace dresser... all. Well done. Thank you for linking it up with us. I would never have found your blog if you didn't. A new party opens again later today. I hope to see you there again. Stay in touch! ~ Rose

Love those little teabag holders Penny - I make card versions with a large cup stamp! Lovely to see your latest sock monkeys too and your gorgeous dresser - that would certainly cheer you up on a chilly day! Vicky x
